Free agent Karagounis attracts Jol's interest

Sky Sports understands Fulham are weighing up a move for Greek international Giorgos Karagounis. Karagounis is available on a free transfer and therefore able to sign for a club outside the transfer window. The experienced midfielder is looking for a new club after leaving Panathinaikos earlier this summer. Fulham boss Martin Jol is keen to bolster his midfield options after seeing key figures Moussa Dembele and Clint Dempsey leave the club last month. Jol is short of options in midfield after also allowing Danny Murphy and Dickson Etuhu to leave for Blackburn earlier this summer. Karagounis has a wealth of experience having won over 100 caps for Greece, helping them win Euro 2004, and counts Inter Milan and Benfica among his former clubs. A number of clubs are thought to be keen on signing Karagounis, but Fulham are giving serious consideration to offering him a deal at Craven Cottage.
